The Art Nouveau restaurant was decorated by Louis Trézel, Armand Ségau and Hippolyte Boulenger, and opened in 1903 as Gandon-Fournier.

Several signs representing peacocks were made by Armand Ségaud, whereas the mahogany counter is attributed to cabinetmaker Louis Majorelle.

Louis Trézel depicted four women on several sintered-glass panels inspired by Alfons Muchas's iconography.

[2] The tiled floor, which depicts a wild aquilegia and daisy meadow, was crafted in Hippolyte Boulenger's pottery works in Choisy-le-Roi, whose headquarters where located in the neighborhood of the restaurant.

[3] At Julien Barbarin's request, Georges Guenne's company installed large window panes which let the natural light pour into the room; the drawings of the windows were made by Charles Buffer, the father of painter Bernard Buffet.
